Answer 1

You can use something like this :

- hosts: RH7
  tasks:

  - name: read File
    shell: awk '/#PermitRootLogin/ {print $2}' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
    register: PermitRootLogin

  - debug: msg="{{ PermitRootLogin.stdout }}"

cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config | awk '/#PermitRootLogin/ {print $2}' : This command will give you the output of PermitRootLogin from the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

We will save the value in PermitRootLogin variable and can see it using the debug command.
